Tom I respect your opinion, and I know what you are saying about only 5% of audio freaks (I try to avoid audiophile) would appreciate the little tweaks and tricks.

I also know that Mil spec wire is a gazillion times cheaper than the fancy audiophile cables. In fact I get Mil spec scraps free from work. Its a great bargain in the audio world

I know there is a difference between the hypothetical best case scenerio and what everyone is actually doing. I am more curious what people are actually doing in there own systems. Then sometimes I try it and see if it works for me too
